A thrill-obsessed couple recently tied the knot at one of the UK’s popular theme parks before immediately enjoying their first ride as husband and wife.
Leanne Smith, 33, and Lee Churchill, 39, both from Derby, hosted their dream wedding at Fantasy Island theme park in Lincolnshire on September 27.
The newlyweds are massive fans of the Skegness park and visit regularly for the 30 plus attractions on offer.

Especially those rides that will give them an adrenaline-rush.
But, their hearts were pounding for a different reason this week when they chose the theme park as the venue for their white wedding.
Leanne and Lee originally planned to get married in Las Vegas before Covid changed their plans and they decided to head to Skegness instead.
The pair reached out to Fantasy Island last year to see whether the theme park would be willing to host their dream day – and thankfully it was a yes!
On their big day, loved ones ventured into the theme park’s indoor attraction area, The Pyramid, and were met with a wedding scene like no other, as decorations adorned the venue fitting with the island adventure theme.
Then, following the ceremony, the couple enjoyed their first ride as a married couple on The Millennium, a 150ft high and 55mph rollercoaster.
Leanne and Lee held their reception in the Explorer Bar where guests were treated to a wedding meal befitting the location by tucking into fish and chips supplied by local chip shop, Mrs. M’s.
Thankfully for their wedding guests, the entire reception was permitted to get stuck into the rides at the park.
They had a thrilling day on The Balloons, Dragon Mountain, Seaquarium, Toucan Tours, new indoor rides Harrington Flint’s Island Adventures and The Guardian and even took part in a spot of mini-golf at the attraction’s Lava Creek Adventure Golf.
Leanne, said: “We are so happy to be able to enjoy the happiest day of our lives here at Fantasy Island. The theme park is our favourite place, we come all the time! Being married here is something we only dreamed of; we didn’t know it could be possible!
“We weren’t sure whether they’d let us as we know it’s quite unconventional, however, we saw a post on Facebook asking if getting married here was something anyone had thought of – I emailed straight away! I was over the moon when I got a reply.
“We’re thrill seekers at heart. Whenever we visit, we’re straight on the rides. Toucan Tours is my favourite, whereas Lee prefers The Millennium. We can’t wait to come back to Fantasy Island as a married couple and remember what an amazing wedding day we had here.”
While Paige Harris, Head of Marketing at Fantasy Island, said: “It was a true honour to host Lee and Leanne at Fantasy Island for their special day. We know how much they love visiting the theme park, so it was amazing to be able to share their wedding day with them.
“Lee and Leanne are real thrill-seekers, so it felt rather fitting that they tied the knot here of all places. We wish the wedding couple a lifetime of happiness together and we cannot wait to see them onsite once again, this time as a married couple!”.
